This Draft East African Standard specifies requirements, sampling, and test methods for baby powder. Table 2 sets maximum limits for lead, arsenic, and mercury in finished baby powder and references EAS 847-16 for determination of lead, mercury, and arsenic content. A combined heavy-metals cap is stated separately and is gap-logged because it cannot be represented as a species-specific regulatory-limit row. The structured rows are marked as draft guidance rather than implemented law.
